I personally have no interest in playing NG+ of Bloodborne or pretty much any game, so this is where I checked out. The issue is that I, like a lot of people who played Bloodborne when it was first released, I imagine, have finished the game and been automatically kicked into the beginning of a New Game Plus run. Unfortunately, there's a big problem with this particular incantation. You know that part in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest where in order to progress you have to inexplicably kneel with a Red Crystal to summon a tornado? Imagine someone played that and thought "Yes! Absolutely! This is how all games should work!" and you have a pretty good entryway to the psyche of the Souls series. That said, I'm a little ashamed to admit that it initially wouldn't have put me off that much. It is an incantation you have to perform to get the $20 expansion you already bought. I mean, let's call it what it is: It's a spell. To all but the most diehard of Souls diehards, that surely seems like the fever-dream scribbles of a demon-possessed toddler. Return to the Oedon Chapel and leave via a certain exit outside which a weird brain demon will pick you up and whisk you away to your new content Receive the "Eye of the Blood-drunk Hunter" from a messenger Return to the Hunter's Dream (something of a "home base" in Bloodborne) No, the route to it goes a little like this:įight your way to and defeat Vicar Amelia, one of the earlier bosses in the game.Įxamine an altar behind Amelia after she goes down. It is not behind a hidden door you're suddenly able to unlock. So: The Old Hunters is not an option you can activate from the main menu. If you don't keep up with Bloodborne and the obtuse route to its DLC (something of a Souls tradition) I beg a few moments of your time so I can lay it out. For those players, the price to play The Old Hunters is quite a bit more dear than twenty bucks, and that may be more than I'm willing to pay. As I discovered after I started trying to find the content I had just purchased, the new stuff has been gated in such a way that those who've beat the game will have the hardest time accessing it. It's especially irritating, considering the enthusiasm of that last sentence, that I have purchased a $20 Bloodborne DLC pack The Old Hunters that I am fairly certain I will never play. So it came as quite the surprise to me when I had a lot of fun with Dark Souls, got more than a little obsessed with Dark Souls 2 and consider Bloodborne to be in the running as my favorite game of the year. I don't really dig on sadistic gaming challenges and because my job requires me to be fairly gaming literate, I rarely have time to sink dozens of hours into hard games to learn their intricacies. I never would have pegged myself as a Souls fan a few years back.
